Up and at it bright and early on Sunday morning to open up the workshop ready for our visitors.
The first ones were Gary and his son Liam, who drove down from Teeside in their TF 135 for minor service and check over and sort out of a couple of things.
Peter had his TF 135 transported over from Leeds, as he was concerned about the recent coolant loss he’d been experiencing, the car was booked in for a cambelt service anyway this week, and on an inspection on Sunday found the water pump to be leaking, this will be changed as part of the service so that will fettle this issue for him.
Andrew came over from Harrogate in his MGF 1.8 mpi to have the CAT and Lambda sensor replaced, we replaced the CAT with a homoligated one, as the one on the car wasn’t up to standard and kept putting the engine management light on and was therefore also causing problems with emissions.
Darren and his wife drove over from Leeds with their new acquisition of a 2003 TF 135 for a health check. Just a few things noted for them to have sorted and they have got themselves a very nice example, which will give them both so much enjoyment.
A productive Sunday and really great to see everyone, plus the sun stayed out all day for top down drives home! ☀️
Monday morning found us cracking on with Luke’s P reg MGF 1.8 120, that he had left with us to have a cambelt service, full underfloor treatment, oil leak investigated which was due to the cam oil-seals being old and perished, so these were replaced, a handbrake issue, which was found to be a faulty caliper, so a new caliper duly fitted. Sorting out of the slow windows, which required the mechanisms to be realigned and also one of the switches was broken so this was replaced. A full check over and sort of other niggles and is now for collection. We look forward to meeting Luke when he comes down from Durham on Sunday afternoon to collect.
Stuart came over from Scunthorpe on Monday morning for the annual minor service and MOT on his TF 135. Good to see him again and have a chat while we worked.
Gary and Diane came over from Scarborough in convoy to leave their TF 135 with us for the MOT, and sort out of the usual annoying leaky corner of the soft-top. They enjoyed a day out in Pocklington and came back later to collect. Great to see them as always too.
Tuesday morning work continued on Luke’s MGF. Full cambelt service on Peter’s TF carried out along with greasing all grease points.
Our visitor of the day was David who came over from Holton-le-Clay for the MOT on his ‘05 TF 135, good to see him again. Next year will be cambelt service time again, so that’s all booked in for him.
So that brings us to today and the issue on Stephen’s TF 160 with the gear selection was sorted for him. Other work on other projects continued after that. So a busy few workshop days! Stock checked up on and all parts ordered in ready for our next big trip away, on Monday, for ten days.
A fairly local day tomorrow morning takes us over the bridge to Lincoln for a couple of calls. – https://ift.tt/jwNxFEq
